Chapter 566: First Sight of Li Zhi
It should have been a quiet and elegant bamboo forest pavilion, but at this time it was a group of demons dancing, only to see more than a dozen old or young men naked, along the perimeter of the pavilion kept hurrying, although it was already late autumn at this time, the weather was quite cold, but these people were red skin, and their bodies were steaming hot, it seemed to be very hot, and their faces were also in a trance, as if they were drunk.
"This ...... These guys can't be drugs, right? Li Zhang looked at the group of naked men outside the pavilion, and couldn't help but show a shocked expression and said, he had seen drug addicts in later generations, and some of them would have a similar reaction after taking drugs.
But compared to these people walking quickly in circles outside the pavilion, the people in the pavilion are not much better, I saw a group of people on the right are painting blindfolded, yes, they are scribbling on paper, and the ghost knows what they can draw?
On the left, a woman is dancing in colorful clothes, surrounded by a group of people applauding, but when Li Zhang took a closer look, he found that the "woman" in colorful clothes was actually a man, even if he looked feminine, some male characteristics could not be removed.
No need to ask, the man in the colorful clothes is likely to be the legendary Li Zhi, but looking at the crazy performance of this group of people, Li Zhang is a little afraid to step forward, this has nothing to do with guts, no matter who sees a group of people who are suspected of being mentally ill, I am afraid that the first reaction is to retreat wisely.
However, at this time, someone in the bamboo pavilion noticed Li Zhang, and it was the man in the colorful clothes, but he immediately greeted Li Zhang: "Brother Tai stays, since you have the fate to come here, why don't you come to the pavilion and have a few drinks?" ”
Although Li Zhang felt that these gang members were a little abnormal, he thought that the other party was likely to be Li Zhi, and he thought of Zhao Zhen's entrustment, so he had to smile and say: "Under Li Wei, I strayed into the forest, I hope not to disturb the Yaxing of your brothers!" ”
Li Wei is Li Zhang's younger brother, that is, the son born after Li Yonghe continued to string, more than ten years younger than Li Zhang, and now he is still a child who doesn't understand anything, Li Zhang doesn't want to reveal his identity, so he uses the name of this younger brother.
Hearing Li Zhang's introduction, I saw that the man in colorful clothes laughed and said: "Haha, that's a coincidence, I didn't expect Brother Li and Zai Xia to be the same sect, Li Zhi in Xia Yongcheng, these are all talented people in Yongcheng, today I am here to emulate the Eastern Jin Dynasty celebrities, and I hope Brother Li doesn't mind!" ”
Knowing that the other party was really Li Zhi, Li Zhang was also overjoyed, and at the same time finally understood what the naked men around the pavilion were doing, it is estimated that they are likely to have taken the legendary Wushisan, after all, this is a necessary medicine for the celebrities of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, as for these blindfolded paintings in the pavilion, dancing in women's clothes, etc., it is nothing more than making a profligate posture, imitating the celebrities of the Eastern Jin Dynasty back then.
Thinking of this, Li Zhang was also speechless about Li Zhi's idle and painful behavior, but he still stepped into the pavilion to greet each other, and then Li Zhi also introduced him to a few friends around him, and invited Li Zhang to sit down to participate in their conversation, and the topic they talked about turned out to be "men and women", so Li Zhi made women's clothes, which was in line with the topic of discussion.
Li Zhang joined them halfway, and he didn't have any interest in the so-called Qing Talk, the purpose of his coming was only for Li Zhi, so he kept looking at the other party at this time, but Li Zhi seemed to be quite interested in Li Zhang, and he actually sat next to Li Zhang and smiled: "Where is Brother Li from, it doesn't look like you're from Yongcheng with your accent?" ”
"My ancestral home is Hangzhou, but my father moved to Luoyang, this time I was going back to Hangzhou to worship my ancestors, so I passed by Yongcheng, I heard that Mangdang Mountain here is beautiful, and there are many ancient relics, so I came to play, but I didn't expect to meet a garden party here, and I happened to meet Brother Li." Li Zhang arched his hand at this time, he spoke pure official dialect, that is, Luoyang dialect, so he couldn't hear the flaws at all if he pretended to be from Luoyang.
"It turns out that Brother Li is from Luoyang, I have long heard that there are countless places of interest and historic sites in Luoyang, and I also wanted to go to see it, but unfortunately I have not been able to make the trip, and Brother Li does not have to be polite, call my word Ru Pei!" I saw Li Zhi laugh again at this time, and leaned towards Li Zhang's side as he spoke.
Seeing Li Zhi's actions, Li Zhang secretly frowned, because he felt that the other party was too close to him, and a man was wearing women's clothes, and at the same time, his face was painted with powder, which really made him a little unbearable.
"Cough, Luoyang has not been peaceful recently, some time ago, someone pretended to be a hat demon to make trouble, and it was a panic, but fortunately, it was later found out by the imperial court that someone was fake, otherwise maybe there would really be a big mess." Li Zhang coughed dryly at the moment, and his body quietly shrank back before he spoke.
"Hat Demon? Brother Li, have you ever seen a hat demon? Li Zhang's words also attracted the attention of other people, and they also stopped talking about today's topic and asked Li Zhang instead.
"I did see it a few times, and at the time I thought it was really a hat demon reappearing, but later I learned that it was Manichaean and other monasteries that made giant hats with Kong Ming lanterns, pretending to be hat demons to deceive people, so as to take this opportunity to preach." Li Zhang immediately turned his head to look at the other explanations, and at the same time, he also breathed a sigh of relief, because he finally didn't have to look at Li Zhi's face full of fat powder.
"It's a pity, if there really is a hat demon, then there will be a good show, and I would also like to see what the legendary hat demon is?" At this time, I saw a slender man on the opposite side with a white face full of pity. As a result, this man's words resonated with everyone around him, and they all shouted pity at this time.
Li Zhang's heart sank when he heard this, these people in front of him were richly dressed, and they all looked like they were scholars, obviously they should all be the upper-class children of Yongcheng, but these people didn't consider the serious consequences of the hat demon at all, but only thought about it for fun, and felt sorry for themselves that they hadn't seen the hat demon, you must know that these people are all people who want to gain fame and become officials in the future, but they don't seem to have any awareness of this at all.
The topic was led to the hat demon by Li Zhang, and these people also asked Li Zhang about the hat demon, Li Zhang, in order to get acquainted with Li Zhi next to him, had to patiently tell them some things about the Luoyang hat demon, which was also his personal experience, so he naturally spoke with a colorful voice, and when he heard the highlights, these people were also shouting, and there was no calmness of a reader.
Finally, when Li Zhang patiently finished talking about the hat demon, these people were a little unsatisfied, and asked a lot about Luoyang, and Li Zhang had to answer, and at this time, the blindfolded people next to him also came to chat together, and a group of people seemed very lively.
At this time, it was almost noon, and with Li Zhi's command, the subordinates he brought immediately brought the wine and food, and he also took the opportunity to go out and change his clothes, and finally washed off the fat powder on his face, and then Li Zhang saw Li Zhi's face clearly.
I have to say that Li Zhi, who has changed into men's clothes, is indeed very handsome, and from the conversation just now, Li Zhang also found that Li Zhi is very knowledgeable, especially extremely good at Taoism, plus his family background is not bad, no wonder the little lady of the Cao family will marry him.
"Brother Li, I don't know where you live now, how many days do you plan to stay in Yongcheng?" Li Zhi asked again at this time.
"It may take three or five days, I'm going to change ships in Yongcheng and go south, so it will take some time." Li Zhang replied casually that he had already met Li Zhi today, and he had also met some friends around him, and it should not be difficult to inquire about the matter between him and Cao Xiaoniang.
"That's great, Brother Li is a guest from afar, as a native of Yongcheng, he naturally wants to do his best as a landlord, today is really a bit of a hurry, why don't I set up a banquet at home tomorrow, how about picking up the wind for Brother Li, and let Brother Li taste our local food!" Li Zhi proposed again at this time.
"Ru Pei, you are really a hospitable person, and I have always missed your cook's skills!" At this time, I saw the slender man just now said in a loud voice, and after speaking, he said to Li Zhang, "Brother Li, you don't know, Brother Ru Pei's father is fond of food, and the chef in the family is our famous chef in Yongcheng, you must try it then!" ”
Li Zhang naturally couldn't ask for it when he heard this, and he smiled at the moment: "That's it, then you're welcome, and you will definitely go to the banquet tomorrow!" ”
Seeing Li Zhang's promise, Li Zhi was also overjoyed, and then poured wine for Li Zhang in person. Seeing Li Zhi's actions, the slender man glanced at several people around him, and then they all lowered their heads and smiled secretly, as if they knew something.
Li Zhang also frowned at this time, because when Li Zhi poured wine for him, he also felt a fragrant fragrance, this Li Zhi didn't know how much incense was used? And even if Li Zhi changed into men's clothes, his demeanor was still a little awkward, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
In addition, Li Zhang also found that those who took Wushisan could not eat hot food, at this time they all ate some cold food, it is said that after eating Wushisan, the internal organs are hot, and the heat must be dissipated, not only to walk, but also to eat cold food, take a cold bath, some people say that the preparation method of Wushisan was lost after the Jin Dynasty, but in fact there is no at all, but the method is troublesome, and the side effects are also big, many people know that this thing is harmful to the body, but there are still some bold people who take it secretly, such as these people that Li Zhang saw.
After eating, the Qing Talk also continued and continued to begin, the so-called Qing Talk, in fact, is to take some mysterious and mysterious philosophies as the topic, and start a debate on it, such as the present and the end, existence and non-existence, movement and stillness, one and many, body and use, speech and meaning, nature and famous teachings, etc., Li Zhang did not study this, nor was he interested in it, so he did not join, but in the end, Li Zhi also invited Li Zhang to his home for a banquet tomorrow, Li Zhang also agreed again, and made an appointment.
